Yelp★★★★★

I have been using Drip Too Hard Plumbing (rebranded from DTH) for about a year. They were recommended by a good friend of mine who is a developer, and I have been ecstatic to find such a competent, ethical and reasonably priced plumbing service. Harry is very accommodating and has done a number of small plumbing jobs for me, including fixing work of previous plumbers (Installed new fixtures, fixed leaks from plumbing connections and garbage disposals and installed gas shut off valve). He has also done major construction for friends. I HIGHLY recommend him

We had this plumber in La Crescenta come out for a water softener install and a whole home filter. Super easy to work with, showed up when they said they would, and the water in our house is already so much better. Definitely recommend if you need a water softener or just a good plumber.

What Studio City Homeowners Call Us About

Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Studio City.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many Studio City homes built in the 1950s-1960s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The moderately hard LADWP water accelerates this corrosion, causing low water pressure and rusty water throughout neighborhoods like Woodbridge Park and Colfax Meadows.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Studio City's mature landscaping and established trees create ongoing sewer line challenges, particularly in older neighborhoods near Ventura Boulevard. Root intrusion is especially problematic for homes with original cast iron sewer lines from the post-war building boom.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

The moderately hard water from LADWP causes significant sediment buildup in Studio City water heaters. This is particularly common in the area's ranch-style homes where original water heaters may have decades of mineral accumulation causing loud operational noises.

Unexplained increase in water bills

Learn more

Hidden leaks are common in Studio City's post-war tract homes, often occurring in under-slab copper pipes or aging galvanized connections. The valley's stable soil helps hide these leaks until they become significant, resulting in mysterious water bill spikes for homeowners.

Studio City Plumbing FAQs

Common questions from Studio City homeowners about our plumbing services, pricing, and service area.

Many Studio City homes were built in the mid-20th century and can have outdated plumbing systems prone to leaks and low water pressure. Older homes may also have galvanized steel pipes that can corrode over time, leading to mineral buildup and water quality issues. Our plumbers are experts at assessing and upgrading plumbing in vintage Studio City homes.
